revolution The American Revolution occurred because of Great Britain's failure to adjust to conditions brought on by the growth and development of the colonies, and by the aggravation of a breakdown in the political and economic harmony that existed between the colonies and their mother country. America was a revolution force from the day of its discovery. The American Revolution was not the same thing as the American War of Independence. The war itself lasted only eight years, but the Revolution lasted over a century and a half and begun when the first permanent English settlers set foot on the new continent. Insurrection of thought usually precedes insurrection of deed. Over the years such ferment had occurred in the thinking of the colonists that the Revolution was partially completed in their minds before the first shot was fire or musketball began to fly. The American Revolution had its beginnings in the French and Indian war. For seven years, Britain battled the French and Indian nations in the colonies. Where the colonies militia fought beside the troops of the British army and learned war first hand. After winning the war, Britain had a huge debt to pay. To pay these expenses, George Grenville, who was secretary of Treasury in England, came up with a plan. He reasoned that the debt should be paid by taxing the colonies. After all the war had been fought to protect their land, that is the land of the Ohio River Valley. However, even before the French and Indian War had ended the political harmony that was once between the colonies and the British was already being broken down, due to all of the new acts that were passed in accordance with the mercantile theory of economics. This theory of economics said that colonies are only here to serve and glorify their mother country, in this case Britain. This lead to Britain's passing of the Navigation Laws. These laws mandated that all goods from the colonies had to be carried by British ships, thus making British merchants rich and important because everybody wanted goods form the New World and now they would have to go threw Britain to get them. The Navigational Acts were tolerated to a certain extent but also disobeyed by the common people when necessary. In 1763, the Seven-Year War in Europe and the French and Indian War in the colonies was over, and with the end came a British debt of ove... ... middle of paper ... ...moves that might start a major war. However, on the other hand, they also felt they needed to protect themselves, so they established the Continental Army and named George Washington as Commander-in-Chief. They also passed a "Declaration of Causes of Taking up Arms," which named England as an aggressor and gave the Colonists the right to take up arms against the British. After King George III officially called the Colonies in rebellion, which was after Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was circulated and read, the Patriots realized there was no way to solve the problems peacefully. They decided to declare independence and they drafted the Declaration of Independence, which was adopted and ratified on July 4, 1776. This was the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, in it's major points. Both Britain and the American Colonies had their faults in this matter, however most of the problem resided in the fact that the colonies' perceptions of the British actions were not the reality of the British actions. Therefore in fighting these actions the American Colonies eventual lead themselves to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and into the American Revolutionary War.
In concern to the American Revolution, there are two sides debating its primary cause. One set of historians believe the cause to be ideals and principles. The other set of historians and scholars credit economic and social interests as the primary cause of the Revolutionary War. Historians Jesse Lemisch and Dirk Hoerder used the mobs in colonial cities as evidence of the social concerns of Americans at that time. Another Historian, Arthur M. Schlesinger argued in a 1917 study “that it was the colonial merchants who were chiefly responsible for arousing American resistance to the British; and that although they spoke of principles and ideals, their real motives were economic self-interest: freedom from the restrictive policies of British mercantilism.” This argument is very concrete and is supported by the different legislation that the British Parliament passed after the Seven Years’ War. In fact, an act was passed in 1764 by the Parliament that was instrumental in specifically angering the merchants that played a major role in leading the Americans to independence. That piece of legislation was the Sugar Act which placed a tax on sugar being brought into the colonies. This tax was a significantly less than the one that was logged in the book previously; however, that tax had been ignored for years. The initial response of the merchants to this piece of legislation was anger because this new law cut off their highly profitable smuggling organizations which greatly affected their earnings. Soon after tha...

...olerable Acts, which colonists viewed as posing threat to their political freedom. Therefore, the Continental Congress adopted the Continental Association, and more small towns and rural areas joined the resistance. Still, some colonial leaders did not favor severing the tie with Britain because of pride of British membership and fear of further turmoil. In New York and Pennsylvania, unable to achieve a consensus on their position against Britain, many leaders stagnated from further resistance.
A study was done to see if tanning beds really helped with Vitamin D production. The study used healthy subjects between the ages of 18-70 years to participate. The study split into two test groups, one group had those who used the tanning bed more than once a week for over 6 months, and the other group included those wh...
The American Revolution began as a conflict over political and social change, but soon developed into a dispute over personal rights and political liberty. A decade of conflicts between the British government and the Americans, starting with the Stamp Act in 1765 that eventually led to war in 1775, along with The Declaration of Independence in 1776. Americans united as one and knew that they wanted to be an independent country, have their own laws, rights, and not be a colony of the Great Britain. They fought hard for their independence and people lost their lives in the process of it, but in the end they succeeded. Never give up, keep fighting till the mission is accomplished, just like the Americans did when they were fighting for their independence.
FlagellaFlagella are necessary for the active movement of bacterial cells and protozoa. Flagella are single, whip-like structures that propel an organism through an aquatic environment. They use undulatory motions, where the waves of motion start at the base of the flagellum. The size, the volume of the medium, the length, position and width of the flagella on the organism determine the direction and speed propulsion of the cell. There are three different types of flagella movement. They are either planar, oarlike beating, or three dimensional waves.In the three dimensional wave movement, the flagella whips back and forth. As a result, the organism moves forward in the direction of the flagellum.The planar waves are mostly asymmetrical, and are on a single plane. The planar waves make the protozoan rotate on it’s longitudinal axis. The direction of movement is opposite of the direction of the wave.The oarlike flagellar movement is the same as planer, but the waves are often very asymmetrical, and have more side to side swing. Also, the protozoan usually rotates and moves with the flagellum from the front end.CiliaCilia are tiny hairlike appendices that swim or beat individually or in large fields. They work like flexible oars. The movement of each cilia must be closely coordinated with all of the other cilia. This is called metachronal rhythm, which is a wave of simultaneously beating groups of cilia moving from the anterior to posterior end of the organism and is responsible for the transport of objects and materials.Cilia play an important role in nearly all life functions in most species in the animal kingdom, including humans. Some of which are, feeding, reproduction, sensing, swimming, and transportation. Since they are so important, there has been a great deal of research done on them. Hancock made the first theoretical breakthrough in the mid-50’s, although cilia have been known about for 250 years.
Because of the fat that he worked so close to the border of the United States and Mexico it meant that he would always be in the spotlight here in the United States. Hollywood’s Mutual Film Company wanted to film Pancho Villa’s battles and in 1913, he signed a contract with them to do just that. He was very selfish when it came to his power and his fame, all he wanted was to be known and to be respected, but going all the way to get the battles filmed I don’t think was the way he really wanted to do that. A lot of times battles were re-scheduled or staged for the safety of the cameramen. At this time, Pancho Villa was on the United States’ good side and they were supply him with guns and
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the fastest growing epidemics in the world today. Approximately 75 percent of U.S. teens and adults have low vitamin D levels. Some experts are attributing the high percentage of vitamin D deficiency to the increased use of sunscreen and long sleeve shirts after recent skin cancer-prevention campaigns… But a person does not have to tan or sunburn in order to get vitamin D.

Normally, retinoic acid plays roles in many bodily functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, embryogenesis, immunity, and metabolism. When treated with retinoic acid HL-60 cells produce granulocytes (3). Retinoic acid worked well both in vitro, during laboratory testing, and in vivo, during clinical trials (2). Another highly tested differentiation therapy agent is vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 assists the body with many functions such as immunity, cellular growth and regulating calcium and bone homeostasis. In addition, when HL-60 cells are treated with Vitamin D3 they differentiate into monocytes (3). When researchers tested vitamin D3 in vitro it worked well, however when they tested it in vivo it didn’t work very well. So to make vitamin D3 induce monocytic differentiation in vivo researchers have used vitamin D3 and retinoic acid together to produce a synergistic differentiation effect that allowed the cells to differentiate into monocytes in vivo
The American Revolution was a defining point in history in which American colonists fought for their independence and their constitutional rights. The war against Britain established the foundation the nation has been built on, and the event influenced political ideas and revolutions around the world. The causes of this incredible war can be traced back to the conflict-driven relations between Britain and the colonies.
There are many different types that are necessary in maintaining proper health such as riboflavin, vitamin C, and vitamin D. Riboflavin is a water soluble vitamin that is named for its structural component and color. It is important for energy metabolism, synthesizing of vitamins, nerve function, and biological membrane protection. A deficiency in riboflavin would lead to ariboflavinosis (McGuire & Beerman, 2012). Good sources of riboflavin are meat, fish, and dark green vegetables (Powers, 2003). A more commonly known vitamin is vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. This is also a water soluble vitamin. Its major role is as an antioxidant and improving the immune system. Vitamin C can be consumed through citrus, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots. If not enough of this vitamin is consumed, it will lead to scurvy (Garcia-Closas et al, 2004). This vitamin is commonly known because it helps protect against colds. Whenever someone is starting to get sick, they are told to take vitamin C. Lastly, Vitamin D is found in two forms: ergocalciferol (plant) and cholecalciferol (animal). It is important in blood calcium regulation, bone health, and it may even help prevent certain types of cancer. Good sources of vitamin D are ones that occur naturally such as egg yolks, milk, fish, and mushrooms. In addition, vitamin D can also be synthesized through sunlight which is why it is called the sunshine vitamin (McGuire &
“Vitamin deficiencies especially vitamin B12, B6 and folate are associated with cognitive impairment, and linked to age-related hearing loss in older adults. If B12 levels are not adequate, high folate levels may be a concern.” As we age the amount of chemicals in the body, needed to absorb vitamin B12 decreases. To avoid deficiency, older adults are advised to eat foods in rich vitamin B12 regularly, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy foods. “Nutritional antioxidant supplements are generally believed to be beneficial in reducing free radical cellular and DNA damage.” A large epidemiological study found the concomitant use of vitamins C and E is associated with reduces incidents of Alzheimer disease. Eating foods with Vitamin E such as grains, peanuts, nuts vegetable oil and seeds may help reduce the risks of Alzheimer’s disease. However the study found the same benefits did not hold true for Vitamin E from supplements. Seasonal vitamin D deficiency is recognized as highly prevalent in North America. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is recommended for individuals over the age of 65 because it has have been shown to reduce hip fracture
Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in the body, which is important for bone health and development as you grow. It also helps reduce inflammation and benefits your immune system. It is needed for proper absorption of calcium; stored in
In the article of Zittermann et al. (2011, p. 1), vitamin D is received largely from ultraviolet B rays that induced in the skin. Furthermore, Prentice (2008, p. S153) describes that a plasma metabolite of vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is a valuable risk marker to determine the paucity of vitamin D, she further reports that this substance is produced in the liver and synthesizes from the skin.
Some believe that higher doses of vitamins and minerals will prevent the consumer from getting the disease. As explained previously this claim is not true. Evidence does show that having the proper amounts of vitamins and nutrients will maintain the body’s health and can reduce risk of disease. While exploring causes of cardiovascular disease, the number one killer of Americans, researchers explored what type of vitamin may help to prevent the body from disease.There is little solid evidence to support that vitamin D does in fact reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. One peer reviewed article suggested that eating garlic had the most research and clear evidence in regards to being proven to lower cholesterol and overall lower chances of cardiovascular disease. Because vitamin supplements are relatively new there is not an abundance amount of studies to prove or disprove theories. (Knox
